If you hold a 24-word Blockrise Seed, you can add Cloud Recovery afterwards from the Blockrise app. This applies to clients who chose Advanced Setup, and to clients whose wallet was created before Cloud Recovery became available, when a written seed phrase was the standard method. This is not available in the dashboard, so you will need your phone. **Before you start** You need your existing Blockrise Seed, either as a QR code or as the 24 words, because you use it to authorise the change. You also need to be signed in to your cloud account on the device: iCloud on iPhone, Google on Android. **What happens when you switch** A new Blockrise Seed is generated and encrypted on your device, and the encrypted copy is stored in your personal cloud storage. This adds a recovery key to your wallet. Your existing Blockrise Seed stays valid and keeps working, so the 24 words you wrote down remain yours and remain usable. Blockrise Back-up is enabled at the same time. There are no costs for enabling Cloud Recovery or Blockrise Back-up. You can read more in [How Cloud Recovery works](https://support.blockrise.com/how-cloud-recovery-works-?hsLang=en-gb). **Adding Cloud Recovery** 1. Open the Blockrise app and go to *Profile*, then *Security*. 2. Tap *Cloud recovery*. 3. Read the summary and tap *Get started*. 4. Review what will happen to your wallet and tap *Continue with iCloud*. On Android, this button refers to your Google account. 5. On the *Important information* screen, read both statements, tick both boxes, and tap *Continue*. 6. On the *Authorise the change* screen, tap *Continue*. 7. Confirm with your existing Blockrise Seed. Choose *Scan QR code* to scan the QR code of your seed, or *Enter seed manually* to type the 24 words. 8. Wait while the app saves the encrypted seed to your cloud account and activates recovery. This takes a few seconds. 9. When you see *Cloud recovery activated*, tap *Continue*. **How to check that it worked** Go back to *Profile*, then *Security*. *Blockrise Back-up* now shows as *Active*, and the *Cloud recovery* option is no longer listed, because it is already set up. **Still have questions?** Contact us at [support@blockrise.com](mailto:support@blockrise.com) or call +31 10 848 17 41. - [Our services](https://support.blockrise.com/our-services?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Blockrise Wallet](https://support.blockrise.com/our-services?hsLang=en-gb#blockrise-wallet) - [Blockrise Brokerage](https://support.blockrise.com/our-services?hsLang=en-gb#blockrise-brokerage) - [Blockrise App](https://support.blockrise.com/our-services?hsLang=en-gb#blockrise-app) - [Bitcoin-backed lending](https://support.blockrise.com/our-services?hsLang=en-gb#bitcoin-backed-lending) - [Partnership program](https://support.blockrise.com/our-services?hsLang=en-gb#partnership-program) - [Deposits and withdrawals](https://support.blockrise.com/deposits-and-withdrawals?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Deposit](https://support.blockrise.com/deposits-and-withdrawals?hsLang=en-gb#deposit) - [Whitelisting](https://support.blockrise.com/deposits-and-withdrawals?hsLang=en-gb#whitelisting) - [General](https://support.blockrise.com/deposits-and-withdrawals?hsLang=en-gb#general) - [Withdrawal](https://support.blockrise.com/deposits-and-withdrawals?hsLang=en-gb#withdrawal) - [About Blockrise](https://support.blockrise.com/about-blockrise?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [General](https://support.blockrise.com/about-blockrise?hsLang=en-gb#general) - [Careers at Blockrise](https://support.blockrise.com/about-blockrise?hsLang=en-gb#careers-at-blockrise) - [Contact](https://support.blockrise.com/about-blockrise?hsLang=en-gb#contact) - [Your account](https://support.blockrise.com/your-account?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Registering with Blockrise](https://support.blockrise.com/your-account?hsLang=en-gb#registering-with-blockrise) - [Invoices](https://support.blockrise.com/your-account?hsLang=en-gb#invoices) - [Personal Information](https://support.blockrise.com/your-account?hsLang=en-gb#personal-information) - [Compliance](https://support.blockrise.com/compliance?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Know Your Customer (KYC)](https://support.blockrise.com/compliance?hsLang=en-gb#know-your-customer-kyc) - [Transparency](https://support.blockrise.com/compliance?hsLang=en-gb#transparency) - [Security](https://support.blockrise.com/security?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)](https://support.blockrise.com/security?hsLang=en-gb#two-factor-authentication-2fa) - [Safety and security](https://support.blockrise.com/security?hsLang=en-gb#safety-and-security) [![Blockrise Logo](https://support.blockrise.com/hubfs/blockrise-logo-custom-color.svg "Blockrise Logo")](https://www.blockrise.com/) [mailto:support@blockrise.com](mailto:support@blockrise.com) Copyright © 2025
